No.
Yes, the distance formula for a line segment was derived from Pythagoras' theorem.
Yes, the distance formula for a line segment was derived from Pythagoras' theorem.
True
Better for what??? Actually, both are closely related. The distance formula is derived from the Pythagorean theorem.
Oh yes, the Pythagorean Theorem has been proven.
The Pythagorean theorem uses the right triangle.
Yes, the formula for the Euclidean distance. But not necessarily other distance metrics.
There are 19 various aspects of Pythagoras theorem. Pythagorean Theorem (1) Pythagoras Theorem(2) Pythagorean Theorem (3) Pythagorean Theorem (4) Pythagoras Theorem(5) Pythagorean Theorem(6) Pythagrean Theorem(7) Pythagoras Theorem(8) Pythagorean Theorem (9) Hyppocrates' lunar Minimum Distance Shortest Distance Quadrangular Pyramid (1) Quadrangular Pyramid (2) Origami Two Poles Pythagoras Tree(1) Pythagoras Tree(2) Theorem by Pappus
The Pythagorean theorem, which is the square root of the sum of the squares of two sides of a right triangle is equal to the hypotenuse, can be used to find the distance between two points. This means that it can also be used to find the equation of a line.
